Comparing new SBRT to standard radiation for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares a newer, more precise type of radiation (adaptive SBRT) with standard image-guided radiation for prostate cancer. It aims to see if the newer approach is better at targeting the tumor while reducing side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer (confirmed by biopsy).
- Your cancer has not spread outside the prostate (localized).
- Your cancer is low, intermediate, or high risk.
- You are scheduled to receive a specific type of radiation called SBRT.

This trial compares two types of radiation treatments for prostate cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It tests whether adding a higher dose of radiation to the main tumor helps control the cancer better than standard radiation alone.
This study compares two ways of giving radiation to the prostate, including a “boost” using a special internal radiation treatment. It’s meant to see which radiation schedule works better and is safer for certain prostate cancer patients.
This trial tests whether targeted radiation (SBRT) to a few sites of cancer spread can help men whose prostate cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy but has not spread to many places. You may benefit if you have a limited number of growing spots outside the brain or spine.
This trial tests a type of radiation that adjusts to changes in your prostate during treatment. It aims to improve accuracy and reduce side effects for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.
This trial compares giving radiation in 2 treatments versus 5 treatments for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It's for men with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who are healthy enough to undergo a short course of targeted radiation.
This trial studies whether adding a stronger “boost” dose of targeted radiation (SBRT) can better control higher-risk prostate cancer. It may help by increasing radiation coverage to the prostate while trying to limit treatment to surrounding areas.
